Eaton County Democrats Seek Election

This is proving to be an exciting year, as Eaton County Democrats will be holding their first ever Primary election on August 3 for the 71^st District State House seat (currently occupied by term-limited Rick Jones).  There are five candidates for this open seat:  Theresa Abed, Grand Ledge; Mark Eagle, Delta; Fred Fry, Charlotte; Justin Heany, Grand Ledge; and Bob Robinson, Vermontville.  A Democratic Candidate debate will be held on June 3, 2010, at 7:00 at the Days Inn on West Saginaw in Delta, across from the Delta Township Hall.

All current Democratic commissioners except Theresa Abed (campaigning for State Representative) are running for reelection.  Terrance Augustine of Grand Ledge is running to fill Theresa’s seat in County Commission in District 3.  And David Fernald is a candidate for County Commission in District 14 (Hamlin, Eaton Rapids & Brookfield Townships), a seat currently held by Republican Denise Clarke.

Check back to the website as we will be posting a complete list of the 2010 Eaton County Democratic Candidates and their contact information.
